Publisher's Synopsis
Informed Immunitycritically examines the safety, effectiveness, and regulatory oversight of adult vaccines, empowering readers to make informed decisions about their health.
In an era of rising skepticism and urgent questions about vaccine safety, Informed Immunitydelivers a bold, physician-led examination of the risks and benefits of adult immunization. Drawing on decades of clinical experience and the latest research, Drs. Edward Geehr and Jeffrey Barke scrutinize the rapid expansion of adult vaccine recommendations, the impact of emergency authorizations, and the growing disconnect between public health messaging and patient concerns. With the national spotlight on vaccine safety--from COVID-19 mRNA shots to new RSV and influenza vaccines--Geehr and Barke guide readers through the complex landscape of federal policy, regulatory shortcuts, and the pressures faced by both patients and providers. They reveal how legislative acts and regulatory changes have shifted the balance of power toward pharmaceutical interests, often at the expense of true informed consent. This essential guide empowers adults and caregivers to ask the right questions, understand the science, and make vaccination decisions with confidence. Informed Immunityis not an indictment of vaccines, but a call for transparency, critical thinking, and patient-centered care in a rapidly evolving medical world.
